[0:52] This is the CBS Evening News
[0:56] with Russ Mitchell.
[1:00] Tonight, the Gulf Coast is bracing for a
[1:01] visit from Hurricane Katrina, now
[1:03] packing winds of more than 100 mph. The
[1:06] storm slammed through South Florida on
[1:08] Thursday, killing seven and causing up
[1:10] to two billion dollars in damage. This
[1:12] evening, it's on a path that could send
[1:13] it anywhere from the Florida panhandle
[1:15] to Louisiana. Jim Acasta is in Buxy,
[1:18] Mississippi with the latest. Jim,
[1:22] >> Russ, along the Gulf Coast, residents
[1:24] are gearing up for what could become a
[1:26] dangerous category 4 hurricane. And
[1:28] while Katrina is hundreds of miles away,
[1:31] people are being warned to use that time
[1:33] to get out of the way.
[1:36] Across the coastal casino town of Buxy,
[1:39] Mississippi, gamblers are placing their
[1:41] bets on where Katrina will strike. T
